Valerie Belin constantly explores matter, the body and the living, absence and their representations; she brilliantly develops her research on light, detail and texture. After a first volume released in 2007, Damiani now presents her subsequent work, with series produced between 2007 and 2016: Fruit Baskets, Lido, Ballroom Dancers, Vintage Cars, Crowned heads, Black-eyed Susan, Settings, Brides, Bob, Interiors and Still Life as well as her most recent and original series, All Star. The volume also comprises exhibition views and photographs taken during her performance at the Centre Pompidou in 2014. An immersion into a rare and unusual body of work that brilliantly questions matter and the living through the photographic medium. Photography of confusion and absence.
